Beautifully produced journey through a new teacher’s first year in an urban school. Esme’s frank thoughts and vivid descriptions are well served by her personable delivery, whether imitating students, other adults, or herself. She’s a great guide to her own experience – good company, a wise and generous observer, an engaging speaker. The music accents are superb. sl

I've been listening to each of the segments this weekend and have enjoyed every one. The cello music at the end of this episode caused me to take a break from my sewing hoping you would have named it in the piece description. I would have loved to listen to it in its entirety. Great work...absolutely great!
